Template:R from NYC bus route/sandbox

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from New York City area bus routes by default. Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from NYC bus route}}
}}

Template {{Rcat shell}} is an alias for the Redirect category shell template, which may be used to add as many appropriate rcats as needed, usually from one to seven, along with their parameters, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation on its template page. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{R from NYC bus route}}

This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.

• Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from the title of a New York City metropolitan area bus route to a related article, for example, B20 (New York City bus)List of bus routes in Brooklyn.
• If the target article of one such redirect becomes too large, that redirect may be replaced with an article that is a subtopic of the previous target of the redirect.

Printworthiness

• In main-article namespace, many redirects from bus routes are considered printworthy; however, there are many others that are unprintworthy, so there is no default sort for printworthiness. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Some rcats automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Others, like this rcat, do not, and that means it is up to editors to choose which of those categories, Printworthy or Unprintworthy, is appropriate and should be populated. The rcats that are used separately to populate those categories are:

• {{R printworthy}} and
• {{R unprintworthy}}

Please click on each one for more details and guidance.

• Template {{Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other.

Examples:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from NYC bus route}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from NYC bus route}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

Either {{Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Rcat shell}}, may be used.
